Among dental implant design alterations, surface modifications have been by far the most
investigated topic. Regarding implant surface research, the lack of hierarchical approaches …

Ceramic-based crowns, particularly molar crowns, can fail prematurely from accumulation of
fracture and other damage in continual occlusal contact. Damage modes depend on …

All ceramic crowns are highly esthetic restorations and their popularity has risen with the
demand for life-like and cosmetic dentistry. Recent ceramic research has concentrated on …

Classification systems for all-ceramic materials are useful for communication and educational
purposes and warrant continuous revisions and updates to incorporate new materials. …

A study has been made of the effects of sandblasting on the strength of Y‐TZP and alumina
ceramic layers joined to polymeric substrates and loaded at the top surfaces by a spherical …

Purpose: The aim of this research was to evaluate the fatigue behavior and reliability of
monolithic computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) lithium disilicate …

Resin bonding to a glass-infiltrated aluminum oxide ceramic (In-Ceram) cannot be achieved
by the methods commonly used for conventional silica-based dental caramics. This study …

Silica coating can improve bonding of resin to glass-infiltrated aluminum oxide ceramic (In-Ceram),
and sandblasting is a pretreatment to thermal silica coating (Silicoater MD system) or …

A technique was described for a retentive mechanism that etches the inner side of cast fixed
partial denture frameworks. The etched metal ceramometal restoration was then bonded to …

Purpose: This investigation compared initial and fatigue strengths of particle-abraded
ceramics to those of as-polished alumina and zirconia ceramics in crown-like layer structures. …
